The designer was a bit too enthusiastic when he drew the trunk lid. In fact, the entire rear is somehow overdone. Aand that line that creases the front fender and goes to the back is so off, for many reasons - good thing is not so obvious, but once noticed destroys the very good job the bonnet does.
Great looking car, nonetheless. Most probably, the regular version will look even better, as this is too aggressive; but here's the catch: the AMG GT 4-door has, well... AMG all over and I suppose on all models, and this is why I think the base version for 8 series should be the M850i or whatever they will number it. This, in my acceptation obviously, would be followed by M8 (the regular one) followed by let's call it M8 iCS, which should be a (mighty) hybrid. And if the M8 will have around 650 hp on pape... wheels, the iCS should add the electric drivetrain from i8 (you know, because this is what BMW said once, that the M will collaborate with i division - and this is why this top version would make sense). A quick math would bring the so-called iCS to 781 hp. Which is fair.

P.S. And nothing compares to youuuuuuu

I'm really hating that rear spoiler but even with it, the looks of this car are light years ahead of the piece of bland garbage MB just put out with the AMG GT 4 door. I love MB's but come on. Nice job BMW, now offer it without the wing.

Hell yeah...SM Blue with the right wheels and height would be out of this world...hopefully it's offered for this model

Hard to look beyond the terrible colour scheme of green/blue paint and yellow headlights. I guess BMW ran out of time and therefore couldn't add the chrome trim around the wheel arches.

wow. can't wait to get one.

[MSCD]

This will look great - very happy to see the '8' back again!

[asiflicious]

It's a beautiful car but I don't understand why it's being called an 8 series. It looks like a new 6er. And they're putting in the same power plant found in the F90 M5? That doesn't make any sense to me. If they really want to make this car the new 8 series and first ever M8 they need to put a very special power plant and interior in it.

Agreed. The rear is way over designed, but the stance is fantastic. Won't be cheap

This is just the John Deere edition.... wait until the regular model comes out...

Also, Mercedes beat BMW to the punch today by unveiling their full production AMG-GT 4-Door Coupe with 630hp. I just hope the production M8 Gran Coupe will "bring it." I do wonder if it'll be any lighter than the F90 M5 also.

It's going to be more luxurious so I doubt it will be lighter. But with this and AMG GT four door, I'm pretty certain my F10 M5 is my last M5, my next four door will be one of those.

[YXEM5]

That is absolutely gorgeous! Wow.

S.E.X.Y.

what an amazing car! it looks really beautiful! better than the coupé concept, the grill size is good now

this concept is close to production

happy they replaced the F06 Gran Coupé with a prettier design

[Mrgunfun]

Overall, the car looks stunning.
Will have to see it in person.

[Flying Ace]

damn...my F06 M6 just depreciated today...

[Sniper101]

Hulk !!!! I want one

[marcva]

Nice car, but I always thought M stood for "Motorsports." 8^\

You and I are in the minority here. I too think the front and rear vents are way too exaggerated and looks cartoonish.

Unfortunately, I think the size of those vents will stay based on how they new X1, X2 and X7 looks/will look. Looks like BMW will be keeping that part of the design element, sort of an evolution of the entire G generation of cars.

it's just rebadging. No different than launching the 4-series or 2-series a few years ago. They decided that the 6er going forward will be the outgoing 5er GT.

So all the F12/13/06 6er is going to be rebadged as the 8er for the next generation.

Well that's stupid. BMW is fucking up their entire lineup. And whatever happened to the 911 killer they were supposedly working on?
